New Updates in AAArdvark
Here’s what’s new in the AAArdvark accessibility testing platform this month:
- Improved PDF Reports – Our PDF reports have been refined to be clearer, more actionable, and easier to share with everyone. Updates focus on better structure and readability, helping teams quickly understand top-priority issues and what to tackle next.
- Clearer Team Management – We’ve improved team management to make collaborations smoother and more intuitive. Assigning work, understanding ownership, and keeping everyone aligned is now simpler and more transparent.
- Configurable Scans – Scans are now more flexible. With the new configuration options, you can tailor scans to your workflows, priorities, and environments, giving you more control over how accessibility testing fits into your process.
Coming Soon
We’re already working on the next wave of improvements:
- More Robust Visual Mode – Visual Mode is getting smarter. Upcoming enhancements will make issue discovery and review even clearer, helping you spot and understand problems directly in context.
- Reusable Custom Failures – Soon, you’ll be able to create custom failures that can be reused, saving time and ensuring consistency for teams with repeat requirements or internal standards.
